Full-length cycling leg warmers for changeable conditions

These insulating, comfortable leg warmers combine the natural performance properties of merino wool with Spandex for stretch and durability. The full-length version provides extra insulation and the fabric is also highly breathable and high wicking. The leg warmers are quick drying so can be used in a variety of conditions. Flatlock stitching throughout ensures the leg warmers won’t chafe and soft gripper holds them securely in place.

Merino ... Does it againBought this merino legwarmers because the normal Rapha legwarmers made me itch for the first 15 minutes when I had them on. I guess it was the internal material + hair combo. So I bought these pair knowing the comfort level of merino to avoid the itching. The only dear I had was how would it perform in windy or rainy situation since merino let's some Wind pass through.
Today I tried it for the first time. 4 degrees Celsius and windy by the sea. Classic merino performance the air is there a bit but your body is so well regulated that you are not cold. This normal regulated body temperature when you wear merino. Excellent will go for the arm warmers as well.

I see why everyone raves about these nowMy first concern when open the Rapha box, was how could something I can see through keep me warm? But boy, it sure does. Down into the mid to upper 40F's for me and all the way up into the 60's. Great piece of kit. They look great with no obvious/obnoxious logos, and a subtle Rapha logo on the ankle. Very comfortable and very warm. Not any bunching or strange issues with fit. The rubber holds the leg well, and underneath Pro Team 2 bibshorts, I've never had any issues. Yes, I wear these with Pro team 2 bibs (non-thermal) into the upper 40's. Quality product and I will buy another once these have been used beyond their life.

Design FaultThis is the second set of merino leg warmers I have purchased. The first set I had worn a couple of times when a hole appeared next to where the Rapha label is stitched on. I returned then and was given a credit so I decided to buy another set. Two rides in and the same thing has happened.
I love the leg warmers but think they should last longer than a couple of rides before a hole appears. Maybe the issue is the label.

Essential piece of kitI bought these 2 months ago and am so glad I did - someone else described these as the best bit of Rapha kit they own and I think I would agree with that. They feel great and wash well, they work in a surprisingly large range of temperatures without overheating or getting cold. I have worn them in 2 degrees C up to 12 degrees C and not even noticed them (which is a high compliment). They do let a bit of breeze in, but I haven't felt cold in them and by the same token they breathe really well. I usually also use Winter Embrocation with them and they go very well together. They aren't so good in a downpour as they retain a right soaking, but that is to be expected.

it's good but not greatI think Rapha and assos could learn from each other. Rapha has intelligent sizing while assos near perfect stitching placement. happy that the size guide was perfect & the subtle professional packaging is very good. although with merino wool you can't hide hairy legs like you can with roubaix fleece. wind proofing quite good on early September windy rides & quite flexible on hard climbs.

shockingly warm!When I opened my package and pulled out the product I have to admit that I was sure I be sending them back. I was convinced that they couldn't be warm enough for October in Toronto. I was dead wrong! Well done Rapha.....keep up t good work.

Great fit and warmer than I thought!Wore them for the first time in -1 temp. and performed brilliantly. As the day "warmed up" legs didn't over heat and remained comfortable.
I highly recommend these essential cycling accessories.

Chilly Mornings.I bought these for the chilly mornings on my morning commute but they'll get plenty of use for pre race warm ups in the coming CX season.

Hi, we would recommend you purchase the small merino leg warmers. This item does have quite a large degree of stretch.

What's the difference between merino leg warmers and leg warmers???

Asked by: Gucc

Hi, please refer to the product pages for full details of these products. In short the Merino leg warmers are made with a Superfine merino-Spandex fabric. The leg warmers are made from a fleece-backed Roubaix&reg; fabric with shaped left and right legs for comfort
